Question: 1 1 - 2 . 2 4 . The segment of road passing over the crest of a hill is defined by the parabolic curve

11-2.24. The segment of road passing over the crest of a hill is defined by the parabolic curve y=0.4x-0.01x2. A car weighing 3220lb travels along the road at a constant speed of 30fps. What is the normal pressure on the wheels of the car when it is at the crest of the hill where y=4ft? At what speed will the road pressure be zero?
Hint: The radius of curvature is defined by
=[1+(dydx)2]32d2ydx2
11-2.25. As a car passes jver the crest of the hill described in the previous problem, the brakes are locked and the wheels skid. The tangential
retardation produced is 0.4g. If the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 0.70, how fast is the car moving?
